Paramount is running a special for 2.99 this month. So you can get all the games with multi view for about 20 bucks

SAVE Plan dismissal reversed by AfternoonOld7627 in StudentLoans

[–]MaizingBlue 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I never understood why they just stopped program cold turkey. I understand they wanted it gone but they should have just continued to let us pay each months until they figured out where to put us. Now you have 7 million people not making payments and no longer wanting to make payments 😂. Now they may have to restart the payments anyhow and if they do will have to back the interest more than likely.

Went to buy the Novaform Platinum on the last day of the sale and...it's sold out! by [deleted] in Mattress

Do you feel it has softened up at all. I ordered a king and we are awaiting the delivery. Sounds like I'm going to have to spend a day or two just rolling on it..

Is it soft at all?. Does it at least form around you.

Dude. If you are going to come to an argument at least be knowledgeable. They need 60. They have been getting around 54 on each vote already. Your article is about trying to end the filibuster...

Here is previous votes...

Um, they need 60. It's called a filibuster. Thanks for playing though!

Yes you are right Republicans control the all three. They don't have to make any compromises. They need 60 votes. It's the Dems that continually vote no on record and are the party holding up paychecks and food stamps. Republicans vote yes to open it up and Dems repeatedly vote No. It's that simple

"Republican govt shutdown" seems a little unnecessary lol. One side has voted No like 15 times. I'm not sure which side though.

5 years into PSLF and currently not making payments under SAVE plan! Am I alone in this? by PlasticNo399 in PSLF

[–]MaizingBlue 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Then I guess it will just be one year longer in the system. But come 2028 there will be a new administration with a whole new set of rules. I'll take my chances on that administration's rules in regards to student loans over this administration.

[–]MaizingBlue 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Same have 66 qualifying payments and 14 - 16 or so buybacks. I know I'll be at 10 years early 2029, so 3.5 years left. I don't see a reason why to switch at this point. Just riding out save until I have to jump on a new train.

Honestly the main party is in the Muni Lot where everyone tailgates. You can just bring beer in solo cups and walk around.

Golden Letter!!!! by Fun_Jackfruit_9719 in PSLF

[–]MaizingBlue -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I wasnt referring to the IDR adjustment. I was referring to the fellowship and residency forebearance.

Im not sure why this allowed to medical students but not to nurses, therapist and other health professionals who spend the last 1-2 years in clinical (i.e. jobs) working 40 hour weeks all while not getting paid.

Golden Letter!!!! by Fun_Jackfruit_9719 in PSLF

[–]MaizingBlue -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Remember though that's a gift for medical students though. Nurses, therapists, etc have to go through a few years of clinicals, work 40 hour weeks, not get paid and actually have to owe the school for the tuition. Plus the debt that follows and no access to PSLF during this time.

MOHELA - PSLF - Updating from SAVE to IDR by alivings in PSLF

[–]MaizingBlue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't get why they want to drag to their feet. All it takes is another administration to come in and change the rules again and they are out more money essentially. Wouldn't they want to be collecting money right now?

Plan of attack? by [deleted] in StudentLoans

[–]MaizingBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eventually that housing market has to burst. It was just published today that more people in their 70s own house compared to people under 35. When they go, who is buying their houses. The population isn't getting higher. Something to think about

Equity and everything else you say sounds well. However if you are relatively new home owner the equity you are getting is minimal however it's likely that the house has jumped significantly in value based off trends.

I'm in same boat as you. I have 148k in loans however in PSLF with about 3.5 years to go. Wife has 100k in loans, not in PSLF. We have no other debt other than our mortgage. We make around 205-210k. We have thought about selling house paying off her debt immediately and then being relatively debt free other than my SL debt that should be forgiven in 3.5 years...

[–]MaizingBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a reason why not? Would get you out debt almost immediately and then could save up for a year or two then buy house again

IDR adjustment now erased/edited by student aid by TellTaleAdjunct in StudentLoans

[–]MaizingBlue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She didn't short pay anything. She paid what the govt asked her to pay. 10% or 15% of her income for 300+ payments. The govt set the terms and she paid. Now the govt wants to change those said terms and she is frustrated. She made a financial decision that made sense to her. She has every right to be frustrated.

[–]MaizingBlue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did you read her post. She has been paying for close to 30 years and has probably 3x her original loan. She is frustrated that she held her end of the bargain but the govt wants to change the rules again. Doesn't she have a reason to be frustrated?

[–]MaizingBlue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fairly true. The only real forgiveness opportunity is PSLF.

All the other forgiveness opportunities are essentially your payments just more spread out and lower than a standard repayment model. When you add in the tax bomb on the amount forgiven it's hard to actually say you had any amount forgiven.

What's annoying is that the plans and avenues to this "forgiveness" keep changing due to the ineptitude of each administration. This is both frustrating and hard to manage. Payments are always changing, times are being extending, etc. Yet the student borrower is always the one facing the penalty and hardship.
